  His grandfather had left after giving him the three scrolls. Daichi stored them in his iory a home as well. He had a special goal in mind.

  Daichi was walking through a forest he outskirts of the vilge. He had been visiting various pces within the vilge to find more dungeons. His journey was somewhat successful. He located another instant dungeon. He decided to save it for the year.

  Daichi hadn't gotten the reward for clearing the dungeon from the quest 'Path to the stro'. He figured he would only get it at the end of the first academic year. He wao know what that reward would entail.

  Now he was looking for a pce to train. Somewhere quiet and away from people so he could test out his jutsus. As he kept walking he saw something ued.

  Several round target boards were hung on trees all around him. As he looked at it he felt a sense of Deja Vu. 'Where have I seen this pce before.' As Daichi racked his memory for an answer, it hit him.

  'I remember now. This pce. This is where Itachi practiced his shuriken jutsu. It's where he showed Sasuke his shuriken throwing teiques before Sasuke ehe academy. Oh man… That means I'm he Uchiha pound. I better leave before I attrawanted panies.'

  Daichi turned around and was about to walk away but something stopped him. He opened his skill list and saw it.

  Shurikenjutsu - Active(LV.89(95.7%))

  Effects: +95% Increase in accuracy.

  +85% Increase in damage dealt.

  'This is the skill that increased the most during my dungeon fight. Makes sense. I wao keep those things at bay and I've been using shuriken and kunai at every fight against those beasts. I used chakra threads to trol the speed and trajectory of the ons. My increased dexterity helped me a lot in improving this particur skill.'

  Daichi took a moment and looked at all the targets hanging orees. He wondered.

  'Is it possible… Do I have Itachi's level of shuriken skill? He is a master with this teique. He could even hit targets in his blindspot…'

  Daichi looked around and he saw another hidden target behind a rock. He wao know if it ossible for him…

  ' I do it? One way to find out, I suppose. Since I'm here I might as well give it a shot. If I want to be the best then I 't shy away from any challehat y way.'

  Daichi took off his gsses and walked forward. He stood in the ter of the clearing with the targets all around him. There were argets all around him in pin view and one hidden behind a rock. A total of 1ets for him to hit.

  Daichi stood still looking at all the targets and memorizing their locations. He spent a few minutes looking and engraving the position of each target into his memory. He took 8 kunais from his back poud held eae between his fingers. He closed his eyes, calmed his breathing and trated.

  A familiar feeling came to him. The sensation of being in the dungeon surrounded by beasts that wao tear him apart. Daichi opened his eyes in an instant and jumped.

  He jumped high and flipped upside down. His eyes nded on all the 9 targets in his view in an instant. His hands moved in a precise yet smooth manner. His fingers loosened and he quickly let go of each kunai he held between his fingers one by one.

  All eight o his hands within a couple of seds. The first six of them were aimed at the targets while the st two were not. Without wasting an instaook out two more from his back poud threw them in the dire of the st two kunais at a faster speed. Metals collided against metals and the force ged the trajectory of all four ons.

  Daichi once again flipped in midair and nded perfectly on the ground. He looked around and wao see the results. What he saw surprised him.

  Even though the kunais all hit their targets, some of them weren't in the dead ter. He missed the ter of five of the argets by a few timeters. Daichi walked to where the 10th and the hidden target y. It too had a kunai stu it, but just like the ohat missed the ter, it wasn't a perfect shot as well.

  Suddenly several notifications popped up.

  Due to successful trol of your body and senses, you have obtained +1 DEX

  +1 SENSE

  Skill Shurikenjutsu’s level has risen by one.

  Shurikenjutsu - Active(LV.90(23.1%))

  Effects: 95.8% Increase in accuracy.

  87% Increase in damage dealt.

  Watg the results of his shurikenjutsu skills, Daichi felt a very straion. He felt sad and happy at the same time.

  Sad because even with the gamer ability and the battles he went through in the dungeoill couldn't make a perfect 10 out of 10 score with all the kunais nding in the ter.

  ‘Even with the gamer abilities I could only achieve this much. And even then… It took me a few mio pletely trate and make the best shot I possibly could. If I was in the middle of a battle or a test I doubt I could aplish the same results…’

  ‘Ahat Itachi. He was able to make this look so easy. What a monster. Some teachers in the academy call me a genius but I was only able to bee that because of my future knowledge and the gamer powers. pared to someone like Itachi… I'm…’

  Daichi closed his eyes and took a breath. He exhaled and opened his eyes. He was calm again.

  ‘No. I shouldn't think like that. Itachi's talent doesn't affect me. It shouldn't. There will be several people like him here in this world… Their success and strength isn't my weakness. I have to remember that.’

  While he felt a little sad he also felt extremely happy. Happy because doing something like this was unimagio him in his previous life. And even here only exceptional ninjas like Itachi or the te fourth Hokage could make better shots than him. He had set his first foot into joining the ranks of shinobis who were hailed as legends.

  ‘Still… I wonder. If Itachi hadn't gone dowh he had… If he hadn't caught that terminal lung disease… How strong would he have bee?... There's no doubt in my mind... With his talent and prodigious skills, he would have bee strong enough to be on the same level as Madara Uchiha one day… Well. That is if things hadn't ended up the way they did.’

  Daichi sighed. He decided that there was no point dwelling on things out of his trol. As he prepared to leave he heard someone g. He swiftly turned around and saw a young man walking towards him g his hands and with a smile on his face.

  ‘Damn it. I didn't even try to see if there was anyone hidden. He probably saw my shuriken jutsu work. Ok Daichi. Calm down.’

  ‘Observe.’

  [LV.61] [Ren Uchiha]

  Age: 27

  HP: 6988 CP: 6855

  [Ren Uchiha is a member of the Uchiha . Although he is a talented shinobi who made in at 14 and joihe Leaf military police force, he doesn't have much ambition. A year ago he married his childhood friend Kimiko Uchiha. Along with a stroion to his , he is also dedicated to proteg the Leaf vilge. He is one of the few Uchiha that never fell victim to the 's ‘Curse of Hatred’. He has powerful chakra and has awakehe two tomoe Sharingan. He is a powerful sensor ninja with a le. He is a smart and kind person, always willing to help others in need.]

  'Wow. An Uchiha. And based on the information a pretty strong one. But it looks like I don't have to worry much about him. He doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble.'

  "That's really impressive shurikenjutsu. I only know of two other people who could do what you just did at ye." The new arrival said.

  He had shoulder length hair which framed his fad the rest of which he tied into a ponytail. He wore a high colred blue shirt which had the Uchiha crest in its bad dark pants with sandals. He had a small smile on his face as he looked at Daichi.

  Daichi put on a slight smile and replied. "Thank you."

  "I'm Ren Uchiha. What's your name?"

  At this question Daichi paused for a sed before answering. He figured it wouldn't make much difference if this Uchiha knew his name or not.

  "Daichi Hekima."

  "Ohh. So you're the one who got the top spot amongst the academy's first years." Ren had a teasing smile as he said this.

  Daichi was fused as to how he would know this information. "How do you know that?"

  "It's not everyday you hear that someohe head's son for first spot. You're in Sasuke's css aren't you?!" Red posed the question as a statement.

  Daichi simply nodded. He asked with some suspi. "Are you following me? How did you get here?"

  Ren chucked and raised his hands in mock surrender. "Easy big guy. I wasn't following you. I sometimes simply walk through these woods to enjoy the pead quiet." As he said the st sentence his joyful expression was slightly saddened. A sed ter it disappeared and he once again put on a jolly face.

  ‘What was that about?’ Daichi wondered.

  "So like I said earlier. Excellent shuriken skills. Who taught you how to throw like that?" Ren asked, curious to know the identity of this boy's teacher.

  "No one. I learnt it myself." Daichi gave a short reply.

  Ren's eyes slightly widened. He khe skills and talent required to perform such a feat. Trained shinobi with years of experience were capable of doing what Daichi did but not when they were in the academy. "That's very impressive." He couldn't help but say.

  "Do you often e here to train?"

  "No." Daichi shook his head. "I just saw the targets and wao test my skills."

  Ren nodded in uanding. "Nobody es here these days. So it's a good pce to train without anyone disturbing you." At that moment an arm rang on Ren's watch. He looked at it and realized it was almost time for his patrol shift. "It's time for me to leave. It was nice meeting you Daichi. Get home safely." He turned around a.

  Daichi waited for a minute and thehe 'chakra sense' skill to see if he or anyone else was still nearby. He couldn't sense anybody within a 40 meter range. Figuring that he really was alo out a breath.

  'I hought I'd meet an Uchiha other than Sasuke and maybe Itachi ter down the line… I'll probably never see him again. It's best to keep it that way. I better leave before anyone else shows up.'

  Daichi turned around a for his home.

  —-----------------------------------------------------------------

  A few minutes ago.

  Ren was walking through the woods to calm his troubled mind. ‘These secret meetings had gotten more intehere were even talks about a coup d'etat against the leaf.’

  Even though he loved his he was someone who never agreed with the 's views on the vilge.

  ‘Now with Shisui's death things have only gotten worse. Is there anything I do?'

  As he walked he sensed a chakra several meters ahead of him. He quietly went behind a tree and looked. He saw a small child ily looking at the kunai targets hanging oree. He saw the child closing his eyes and trating. Wanting to see what the kid was going to do, Ren didn't make a sound and stayed motionless.

  He watched in amazement as the kid jumped and uhe sharp oween his fingers one by one. He saw the first 6 kunai perfectly hitting the targets. He was a bit fused when he saw the st two were aimed nowhere he st targets.

  But that fusion soon turned into astonishment when he saw the child deflect them with awo kunais and all of them striking their mark. An amazi when sidering that the child mao hit the one even in his blind spot.

  'What incredible talent. Who is this boy? He doesn't wear the crest so he's not an Uchiha.'

  Ren walked forward and struck up a versation with the child. He was surprised to find out that this is the boy who defeated Sasuke. It came as a surprise to everyone when Sasuke, the son of the head, was in sed pow having seen his skill, he could uand why. It was even more impressive that he learo do it himself.

  It was then that his arm went off and reminded him of his patrol shift. He walked away hoping to meet this talented kid again.

  —----------------------

  Both Ren and Daichi didn't realize it at the time but this meeting would be the first of their many and would eventually ge the destiny of another.
